Head Coach Brigitte Greywater said, "I am a proud coach after this weekend. We had a few girls playing out of position at times but they really stepped up. Maddy Wallace did a great job all weekend with a bunch of great digs, Hannah Hextall has been a constant for us all year in the middle. Hannah Swartz was solid all weekend setting everyone up and leading us in assists. We defied adversity with some players being out, I believe we took the next step this weekend."
